Some Minnesota Vikings fans want the team to tank for a better draft pick. Here’s why that hasn’t worked in recent NFL history.

Boomer uncle finally using a current meme 😂
Brady was not a 1st round pick
The first year the Vikings lose games on purpose is the last year I'm a Vikings fan. Maybe even a football fan. I don't want to watch ANY team, any sport, ever, where the competitors try to lose on purpose– this completely contradicts the only reason competition sports exist. ALWAYS try to win, as best you can, with what you have to work with. "Tanking" makes the whole thing pointless and cheap.
If we didn't have Kirk we'd lose every game. That's an easy setup to tank. Problem is you cant tank with this GM. He literally botched his first four picks of his first draft and he wanted to trade back when Addison was on the board… he's clueless in evaluating talent.
That being said I don't want to tank but I would like to trade some players if we lose vs the Panthers and Bears and I want a true football mind as our GM.
"hospital balls" 😅😅
That's actually a good perspective on being a fan. Just focus on that one game because anything else is just absolutely fking devastating and depressing. I think I'm going to try that.
One of your best videos
A true dangerously stupid Vikings fan,, Not to Tank. Minnesota,, land of 10,000 L,s
3 losses and now people have no faith in this franchise to turn it around. So much for being fans.
1 agree
I agree* 😂
Lots of salty people out there bud
I can't trust Kwesi until he stops fumbling in the red zone.
Realistic Randy is the worst for this.
Only 3 super bowls this century were won by a team with a QB they took in the top 5. (Peyton once, Eli twice)
Winning a super bowl is a much more complicated process than any Tank Nazi will ever understand.
Tank
In reality, look no further than Ponder and Bridgewater as QBs that ultimately didn’t pan out. They weren’t #1 in the draft, but still… and yes, I would gladly take Williams if available. So much out of our control though.
Kirk is gone after this year. Unless they plan on signing a free agent or trading for a QB, tanking is somewhat reasonable. Sure draft picks can be busts but that’s the gamble of the NFL.
I consider myself a diehard with common sense. I want my team to play to win every game. Regardless of record. 1st pick is expensive and overrated. I wonder how many #1 picks are in the H.O.F.? 14 in the History of the NFL. 18 #1 picks have won a Superbowl.I say tanking is for quitters. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t teach your children to “tank “ or give up at something. Just because there’s money or business involved it’s different? Stand by your morals and beliefs and apply that to all aspects of life. Either you believe in the Vikings, or you need to turn in your fan card. SKOL4LIFE!!
Great video & excellent examples with the numbers to back it up! Tanking = backwards thinking. We can EASILY move up if needed with a mediocre record or even a great record. At the end of the day it's all a GAME anyway. Skol!
I agree that all JJ wants is to win… but they are not winning with Kirk in as QB. I think he'll be OK with us getting the 1st overall pick and bringing in williams. Not like.
Don’t sleep on Sam Hartman, and he won’t go in round 1
I don't know if it will be possible to tank lower than the Bears who currently have 2 top five picks and aren't happy at QB. We play them twice. Seems like they can lose one or both and then we miss out on the #1 QB.
I’m not gonna lie, that’s thumbnail is hilarious😭💀🔥
This is what happens when the quarterback gets all the credit for wins and all the blame for losses. "We're always just a quarterback away."
Agree with you on a lot of stuff Andy, but not on this one. I think that tanking this year would be wonderful. We need to take our shot on one of the best signal callers available, fix the interior O line, fix our NT problem, keep swinging on the secondary, etc. Our results of trying to do a competitive rebuild have not yielded us our desired results. To add validity to your position: could our leadership actually play their cards right with the premium draft position, though?
